The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) has approached the Delhi High Court challenging the continued detention of its leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka. The party has sought an urgent hearing, including a possible night hearing, arguing that their detention violates their fundamental right to liberty. The move follows a Special Executive Magistrate’s decision to extend their judicial custody by 2 days, taking it to 7 days. The leaders were detained after allegedly entering Jantar Mantar, which is no longer a designated protest site, during a demonstration. CJP has challenged the legality of the custody extension.
